Wow, it's Wednesday already? Where did the week go? It always seems like once Wednesday hits the rest just flies by!
I'm excited to share my latest FO with you all today. I've only worn them once but they are already keeping my wrists nice and toasty! Beribboned Wrists by my good blogger friend Alicia Landi. I fell in love with this pattern the instant I saw her publish it and when I died some dk yarn this summer with berries I knew it was the perfect match. To finish them off I had some pretty blue ribbon left over from a needle case my friend Ivy had made me!
After completing these this weekend and still having a whole skein plus a little more of the berry yarn, I thought "Why not make a matching headband" and so (after asking for permission) I started my improv Beribboned Headband! It's coming along pretty nicely, but a little tedious with all the stockinette stitch.
Finally on my list of WIP's for the week I have the shawl I started last week as part of Evelyn's Project: Stash KAL. I worked on this the whole way to and from my Grandma's birthday get together last weekend and made significant progress. The plan is to just go until I run out of yarn; hopefully this will be enough to make it a decent size.
My mom's wrap is currently going nowhere fast. I worked on it at Knit Night last week and ended up frogging out all I had completed. That lace, as easy as it is, is messing me up. So I'm putting in a life line and hopefully I'll get to it this weekend again!
I've spent quite a bit of time at studio this week so far and it's really paying off. I am very proud of where my painting is going that's for sure :) I hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weeks and is as productive as I am!

Adorable kitten picture!! Also, your mitts look great. :) Glad you like them! Fun color ribbon, too.
ReplyDeleteI love the mitts! They're beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSometimes lace projects just don't work the first time, it happens to us all. The mitts are very pretty (although I got a sneak peek of them so I already knew that). Maybe if the gift shawl isn't large enough you can block it larger?
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Your berry yarn turned out very pretty. Good luck with the headband and shawl.
